Overview
Sea Kayak Leader Training
Sea Kayak Leader Training runs over three days: one day of Coastal Navigation & Tidal Planning, followed by two days of on-water training in personal skills, leadership, and safety & rescue. It is the essential step on the pathway to becoming a qualified sea kayak leader.
Training is valid for three years. During that time, and once you have completed the assessment prerequisites, you can put yourself forward for the Sea Kayak Leader Assessment. There is no better classroom than the islands of Koh Chang.
